THE DEADLINE FOR THE REVERSE FASHION SHOW HAS PASSED.It is now Friday, September 17th, and I am in the middle of hemming, hawing, mulling over, contemplating, considering, deliberating, double-checking, and the like. I expect to have the results posted within 24 hours. Thank you!~~~~~~~~~~~~Hello my friends, fiends, and "just acquaintances" in between! This is the Spookyfrog Reverse Fashion Show! One of my favorite things to do on EggCave is to find pairings of trinket travels with creatures that they are not originally designed for. This works well for a decent amount of trinkets, but a number of trinkets are more heavily dependent on their specific creature. Below, I have a list of 13 trinkets. Some are easy to work with and some will be difficult (ahem, compewt). The goal of this "reverse fashion show" is to find a good pairing for each of these trinkets (that is not the species it was designed for). How This WorksThere is a list of 13 trinkets below. You are to find a creature stage that you believe best fits that trinket (that is not the species it was designed for). Provided is a link to a Fillout form where you will type in the creature stage you have found for any of the trinkets. (It doesn't have to be the same species for all trinkets, dw). You will provide your EggCave username and then provide your answer for any or all of the trinkets. The form will not collect email data, and you are allowed to submit the form as many times as you like within the time period. You may submit multiple creature stages for each trinket, up to 3. At the end of the time period, I will mull over, muse on, contemplate, deliberate about, dwell on, and consider all submissions until I decide which creature stage is my favorite for each trinket. My reasoning for the winners will be provided, but my decisions are final.RulesIf you submit multiple forms and you provide more than three entries for one specific trinket, then only the latest three entries will be considered.No submissions after the deadline will be considered.If multiple participants provide the same creature stage for a trinket and that ends up being my favorite, then all of the winning participants will receive a reward. No tiebreakers.I of course have no way to enforce this, but please please no collusion? Don't take advantage of my generosity, for the sake of gamesmanship. The Thirteen TrinketsCarry the Egg (Sorien Stage 3)Control Rings (Compewt Stage 4)Demon Garb (Balrogipuwet Stage 4)Giant Globear (Globear Stage 3)Grapefruit (Othgog Stage 1)Hyperspeed (Seleni Stage 4)Neon Lights (Batteron Stage 3)Red Glow (Viranov Stage 4)Saxophone (Clocat Stage 3)Seedling Monster (Kinump Stage 1)Slug Friends (Tokaroz Stage 4)The Painter (Stegga Stage 3)Water Bath (Flyen Stage 2)Form LinkTo submit your creature-trinket pairings, please go to the form at the link below:https://forms.fillout.com/t/bZfxZySnjFusRewardsFor each trinket, the participant(s) that submitted my favorite pairing will have the choice of: 750k ec, 50cc, or 1 creature from @eerietoad. DeadlineThis contest will be open until Thursday, April 16th 11:59PM ECT. If there are a low amount of submissions, I retain the right to extend this deadline, but I ensure that rewards will be distributed at the end of the final deadline.AdviceThere are multiple ways to find the best creatures for a specific travel or trinket, including the official item page in the Item Database. I have used this before, but I also highly recommend checking out the EggCavity website. It has a page where you can view every creature of a specific stage when paired with a specific travel. Here is the link: https://eggcavity.com/travel-viewer/by-travelLastly, if you have any questions, issues, concerns, or anything else, please let me know! I hope my wording makes sense. I want this contest to bring more engagement to my favorite aspect of EggCave. If you know other users that might want to participate in this contest, please ping them. Thank you for reading all of this, and good luck in the Reverse Fashion Show! 😊(and if you're just enamored by this concept and want a list of the other challenging or entertaining trinkets I found that didn't make the cut, just message me lol)Pings for engagement@nut @spell @isis @lexicon @mami @chaotictreat @mastergemma @queueyou @sapphire12 @ashlinnhi

@spookyfrog This is such an interesting and unique idea for a contest! I love putting trinkets on creatures they aren't specified for, this will be fun!Pings? @opalquinze @myriadium @dragrawr
stormwarden • 6 April 2026 at 11:22 PM
pairing travels is my favorite egg cave activity so i loveeee this idea!!! 😃 very excited to play around with some combos ❤️
lexicon • 7 April 2026 at 12:03 AM
@spookyfrog LOVE this idea!!!! very excited to participate (and win >:])((we'll see lol))
stormwarden • 7 April 2026 at 12:17 AM
well i managed to submit at least one candidate for every travel, and i used only the creatures that i have in my cove -- not to make it more challenging or anything but because i'm not really familiar with creature designs that i don't have XD very excited to see what people come up with!! 😃 the sorien trinket was the most difficult for me ngl!
spookyfrog • 7 April 2026 at 12:25 AM
@heatherm19 @lexicon @stormwarden Glad y'all are excited to participate in the contest! I've been thinking about mixing around with the harder trinkets for a while now, and the user contests are always a fun, uniting part of this site. I put in some that are really difficult, but I also put in some that work easier with more creatures. But that just makes a different level of competition. Excited to see what everyone comes up with! And stormwarden I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far 😊 You have until the night of the 16th to work around with them if you want, and you can submit up to 3 combos per trinket. Please let me know if any of the wording confuses you, I'd be glad to clarify.Pings:@redflipflap @minnie298a @jarsha

Ooooh I’m so into this! Hopefully I can obtain some of those travels to play with and see what I can put together 😊 very fun idea!
spookyfrog • 7 April 2026 at 12:44 AM
@jarsha Of course! I can send you a few that I have extras of. Also, you can use the EggCavity site to find good combos across all species and stages, not just ones that you have. I find it useful, but I also get just wanting to try it out on your own creatures. Hope you enjoy 😊
jarsha • 7 April 2026 at 12:47 AM
@spookyfrog you’re so kind thank you so much! And just to clarify, do the submissions have to be our own creatures or can they be created on EggCavity and then described to you that way on the form?
spookyfrog • 7 April 2026 at 12:52 AM
@jarsha The submissions do not have to be your own creatures. I don't own a Trask, but during my testing I noticed that Trask stage 4 works really well with one of the trinkets. If I were participating, in the form under the specific trinket, I'd enter "Trask stage 4". On the unofficial discord there's a channel dedicated to "dress-up" where we try to find the best travels for a specific creature, and we use EggCavity's creature and travel viewers almost religiously lol
jarsha • 7 April 2026 at 1:39 AM
@spookyfrog thank you so much, I appreciate you clarifying for me. I had the thought this may be the case but sometimes I just have to be explained to twice to understand haha. Thank you so much, I’m so excited for this! Very awesome idea!
spookyfrog • 7 April 2026 at 5:29 PM
Glad people are enjoying the contest so far! The submissions are trickling in but there's still plenty of time. Pings: @valorieviolet @daisycat @granitore @posonium @gngdia
spell • 7 April 2026 at 6:18 PM
This is so cute, thanks for hosting! ^^ Will submit some soon
gngdia • 7 April 2026 at 6:40 PM
@spookyfrog thanks for the ping and hosting! will definitely submit some once I find fitting creatures for the travels 😊
daisycat • 7 April 2026 at 8:52 PM
@spookyfrog This is such a creative and original idea for a contest, I love it!! Thank you so much for the ping. :-)
ashlinnhi • 8 April 2026 at 2:17 AM
for some reason i didn't receive the ping in my notifs 🤔🤔 but really cool idea @spookyfrog! hopefully i can find time to participate (i'm going away in a couple days...)!
spookyfrog • 8 April 2026 at 12:48 PM
Glad yall are enjoying! Hopefully we can get some more participants 😊Pings: @sartre @lia @vampireboyfriend @mythisea
sartre • 8 April 2026 at 3:37 PM
Oh, this seems fun. I’m definitely going to do this. Thank you for the ping @spookyfrog 😁
opalquinze • 10 April 2026 at 9:15 AM
ty 4 hosting! (i actually did get a ping here, just took my time finding which ones would pair nicely in the travels)submitted my form! you weren’t kidding bout some of ‘em being difficult to pair, but i think i got some that fit!
jarsha • 10 April 2026 at 10:28 PM
Will you be able to post links to pictures of the winning combos? I’m so curious to see what the winners put together when it’s decided!
spookyfrog • 10 April 2026 at 10:38 PM
@opalquinze Thank you for participating! Which one was the hardest for you?@jarsha that's a good idea! I can't post images directly to the forum but I'll take screenshots and then put them in an imgur thing or some other image hosting site and provide the link for it. Pings: @byfelisa @flipper @vanilla
jarsha • 10 April 2026 at 10:40 PM
@spookyfrog awesome thank you! I heard the UK can’t currently use/access imgur right now because of censorship, but I don’t live there so someone from UK should confirm this for us if possible, but I’m very excited to see who put together what if it isn’t too much trouble 😊
opalquinze • 10 April 2026 at 10:50 PM
@spookyfrog definitely Control Rings cuz dang, i took over a day trying to find the right stage (imo)!
spookyfrog • 10 April 2026 at 11:15 PM
@opalquinze honestly that trinket is the one that inspired this contest for me lol. Control rings and Carry the Egg seem to be the hardest thus far. Grapefruit is deceptively difficult for such a pretty trinket, but of the entries I've looked at thus far i think people are doing pretty well with all of them. I'm loving the entries for Water Bath specifically, its definitely one of my favorite trinkets. Although I've only really looked at maybe 10 combos thus far? I'm trying to hold off until its over i promise haha
byfelisa • 10 April 2026 at 11:16 PM
Thank you for the ping @spookyfrog! This is a creative and fun activity and count me in. 😸Though, I am always sticking a trinket to a creature at random; I will enjoy this, even more. 😃
daisycat • 11 April 2026 at 1:25 AM
Finished a little bit ago, this was so fun! Thank you again for the ping. :-DDefinitely looking forward to seeing other entries. I think imgbb.com would be a good image hosting site.
